4 2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This safety symbol indicates important safety messages in this manual. When you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of injury, carefully read the message that follows, and inform other operators. 2.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Ensure that the instructions in this book are read and fully understood. No person should be allowed to operate this machine unless they are fully acquainted with all the controls and the safety procedures. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use this machine. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator. 2.2 SAFETY SIGNS It is essential all safety labels are kept legible, if they are missing or illegible they must be replaced. If any part of the machine is replaced and it originally carried a safety label, a new label must be affixed to the replacement part. New safety labels are obtainable from Ransomes dealers. 2.3 STARTING THE ENGINE Before starting the engine check that the brakes are applied, drives are in neutral, guards are in position and intact, and bystanders are clear of the machine. Do not run the engine in a building without adequate ventilation. 2.4 DRIVING THE MACHINE Before moving the machine, check to ensure that all parts are in good working order, paying particular attention to brakes, tyres, steering and the security of cutting blades. Replace faulty silencers, mow only in daylight or good artificial light Always observe the Highway Code both on and off the roads. Keep alert and aware at all times. Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways. Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces other than grass. Remember that some people are deaf or blind and that children and animals can be unpredictable. Keep travelling speeds low enough for an emergency stop to be effective and safe at all times, in any conditions. Remove or avoid obstructions in the area to be cut, thus reducing the possibility of injury to yourself and/or bystanders. When reversing, take special care to ensure that the area behind is clear of obstructions and/or bystanders. DO NOT carry passengers. Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property. When the machine is to be parked, stored or left unattended, lower the cutting means unless the transport locks are being used. While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration. After striking a foreign object. Inspect. the lawnmower for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the equipment. If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, check immediately. 2.5 TRANSPORTING Ensure that the cutting units are securely fastened in the transport position. Do not transport with cutting mechanism rotating. Drive the machine with due consideration of road and surface conditions, inclines and local undulations. 2.6 LEAVING THE DRIVING POSITION Park the machine on level ground. Before leaving the driving position, stop the engine and make sure all moving parts are stationary. Apply brakes and disengage all drives. Remove the starter key. 2.7 SLOPES TAKE EXTRA CARE WHEN WORKING ON SLOPES Local undulations and sinkage will change the general slope. Avoid ground conditions which can cause the machine to slide. Keep machine speeds low on slopes and during tight turns. Remember there is no such thing as a safe slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. GB-2

5 2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 2.8 BLOCKED CUTTING CYLINDERS Stop the engine and make sure all moving parts are stationary. Apply brakes and disengage all drives. Release blockages with care. Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting edge. Beware of energy in the drive which can cause rotation when the blockage is released. Keep other people away from the cutting units as rotation of one cylinder can cause the others to rotate. 2.9 ADJUSTMENTS, LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE Stop the engine and make sure all moving parts are stationary. Apply brakes and disengage all drives. Read all the appropriate servicing instructions. Use only the replacement parts supplied by the original manufacturer. When adjusting the cutting cylinders take care not to get hands and feet trapped when rotating cylinders. Make sure that other people are not touching any cutting units, as rotation of one cylinder can cause the others to rotate. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer and battery compartments free of grass, leaves or excessive grease. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. When working underneath lifted parts or machines, make sure adequate support Is provided. Do not dismantle the machine without releasing or restraining forces which can cause parts to move suddenly. DANGER - Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury. WARNING - Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury. CAUTION - Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury and property damage. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices. WARNING Hydraulic Fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and do serious damage. Immediate medical assistance must be sought. WARNING Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING WARNING DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE WORKING ON THE ELECTRICS WARNING Batteries produce explosive gases and contain corrosive acid and supply levels of electrical current high enough to cause burns.

8 4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4 BACKLAPPING Routine reel lapping is part of a general maintenance plan for reel mowers. All three reels will rotate at the same time when the engine is running and reels are engaged. NOTE:Even when the engine is OFF, rotating one reel may cause the others to rotate. Use the following procedure with the engine off and the reels disengaged. 1. Wash the reels and bed knife's. 2. Slightly back off the rell to bed knife adjustment. 3. Apply lapping compound to the reels BEFORE starting the engine and engaging the reels. NOTE: DO NOT apply lapping compound to reels UNLESS the engine is off and the reels disengaged. DO NOT apply lapping compound to rotating reels. 4. Open the Hood of the machine & push the lever (A) of the the backlap valve down into the bottom position & Close the hood. 5. With the operator in the operating position,make sure the parking brake is applied and start the engine. DO NOT run the engine in an enclosed area. Lower the cutting units so they are firmly on the ground. 6. Run the engine at slightly higher than idle speed. Engage the reel drive from the operators position on the machine. 7. Backlap reels for several minutes, periodically disengage reel drive, shut off engine and check the blade condition. Add additional backlapping compound and adjust reel to bed knife clearance. Return to the operating position and continue backlapping until all blades are uniformly sharp. a thin coating of oil to all sharpened surfaces. 9. For a finer cut, file across the front face of the bed knifee to remove any burrs from the sharp edge. 10. Adjust the reel to bed knife (see cutting unit manual). 11.
